Working at Atlassian
Atlassian can hire people in any country where we have a legal entity. Assuming you have eligible working rights and a sufficient time zone overlap with your team, you can choose to work remotely or from an office (unless it’s necessary for your role to be performed in the office). Interviews and onboarding are conducted virtually, a part of being a distributed-first company.
Your future team
Atlassian uses a decentralised incident management practice. Major Incidents are managed by Major Incident Managers across each engineering team in Atlassian following a YBIYRI (You Build It, You Run It) mentality.
Working closely with the Incident Management automation team, Incident Process Owner and PIR Owner, you will be leading the operational aspect of the incident management and PIR processes. You will identify key areas to improve these, assist with our training programs and education, and help drive initiatives and improvements to make our practices more robust, efficient and simple.
This is an exciting opportunity to be on the cutting edge of service management practices within a rapidly growing, large organisation where you will be able to help shape the future of reliability for our internal and external customers.

- On-call experience
We'd be super excited if you have any of the following
- Experience in incident wargaming or incident simulation such as the wheel of misfortune
- Experience preparing high-quality video training.
- Basic SQL or coding skills to attain data for metric reporting
- High-level technical understanding of networking and Linux/Unix based operating systems - docker, Kubernetes, AWS, APIs etc
- Past experiencing in reading code or scripts (being technical always helps in incident resolution)
- Operations background (eg at some point working in NOC, as a sysadmin etc.)
- Experience in delivering training or education to groups and individuals
- Soft skills in partner/relationship management to influence stakeholders
On Call
- We are looking at creating a follow the sun specialized incident management team that caters for incidents that -
- Are laterally impacting covering many teams and departments within the organisation.
- Do not have a direct engineering team to manage them
- Weekends - on call roughly once every seven to eight weeks.
